Fabian:
Nice! That rule did the trick. Thanks for responding - kept me from having to dig more. So, I have two rules now that look like:
100 : smartRelationship.destinationEntity.name = ‘Product' => keyWhenRelationship = "d2wProductDisplayWhenRelationship" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
100 : smartRelationship.destinationEntity.name = ‘Product' => searchKey = “productNumber" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
Where ‘d2wProductDisplayWhenRelationship’ is a method that returns a nice user-readable string for the objects in the search results.
Thanks for the assist!

Previously, this worked to only display items where Product.productNumber matched the string inserted by the user. Now it only works correctly if keyWhenRelationship=productNumber. The problem with this is that it doesn’t give the user enough feedback about the search results.
